First Look: X-FORCE #1

Get a look at the latest incarnation of the mutant strike team.

No Caption Provided

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at X-FORCE #1 – the exciting new series from innovative creative team Si Spurrier and Rock-He Kim! Every sovereign nation in the Marvel Universe makes use of superhumans to protect national interests and pursue a covert national agenda. The stakes are high, and the prizes are intelligence, security, resources and power. Now, Cable and his new black-ops squad are entering this endless shadow-game to ensure that Mutants have a hand in the future of the Marvel Universe – by any means necessary!

“They don’t want global domination nor mutant superiority; merely to protect and strengthen the interests of The Mutant Nation,” says writer Si Spurrier, in an interview with Marvel.com. “And they’ll rain thunder and flame on anyone who says different.”

“X-Force isn’t looking to keep its existence a secret,” says Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. “They want to send a loud-and-clear message to the world that the Mutant Nation is not to be messed with.”

But when an international incident threatens the already fragile human/mutant relations, the Mutant Nation needs a dirty tricks department – and X-Force is it! Don’t miss the explosive action and political intrigue when Cable, Psylocke, Fantomex, and Marrow burst on to the scene in X-FORCE #1 this February!

X-FORCE #1 (DEC130676)

Written by SIMON SPURRIER

Art by ROCK-HE KIM

Variant Covers by PHIL NOTO

I just don't understand the line-up. The art doesn't bother me.

Yeah, having this sort of interior art is disappointing. I don't think it looks bad, stylistically, but this kind of very computer graphicsy style is very cumbersome, very static. It's the opposite of what I'd like on this book.

But it's a give and take, I guess. I love how open Marvel are to different art styles these days, and the way they rotate that stuff means they often rotate in things I love. This is just my time to be sorta dismayed, I guess. I'm gonna give this a shot and hopefully the writing is good. I'm gonna miss the sorta unfulfilled potential in the previous UXF lineup, but who am I to cry over spilled milk.

Im moving it from my pull list to "puruse". art cool but Im not a fan of the line up cable an fantomex could get the job done without the rest of them. They should have kept most of cables team ( forge didnt seem like a good fit ..sage would have been better, boomer is great comic relief) and added Spiral and fantomex

I'm still sceptical. The line-up of the other books was so great. What happens to Colossus, Hope, Forge, Dom, Boomer, Spiral and Puck. I really hope Pete and Neena stay together...

And why Marrow? Just why....

Damn it, I really enjoyed the Domino and Colossus' dynamic, which will now be completely forgotten about as just another sexual encounter for Domino rather than an actual relationship. Which sucks, hopefully where ever they go, they'll go together.

Question is: Is Cable an independent force? Because projecting a strong image of the Mutant Nation sounds right up Cyclops' alley.

I'm not 100% sold on this title…I love the art, I'm a fan of Cable, Psylocke, and Fantomex, but I'm not completely sold on the story and I don't like the fact that Hope, Domino, Colossus, Forge, and Dr. Nemesis are gone along with Bishop and Puck!

I am going to miss Psylocke being in one of my regular books, but I don't think I want to follow this. Definitely not my art style and I've never been a fan of Cable or Marrow. I'm also interested where Colossus is going...Amazing would be a cool choice given the friendship with Colossus and Nightcrawler.

dont get why people are obssessed with cable NOT having powers and HAVING a mechanical arm. what's the point of curing him (which they've done several times i might add) only to regress him to nothing. the coolest cable has been was in x-force when they had the purple and gold uniforms, cable and deadpool. he can have his powers (he is a mutant) and still use guns, heck bishop, dominoe, hope and others do it all the time. glad they are bringing marrow back but..where the heck are dominoe, hope and boom boom?

I am going to miss Dr. Nemesis and forge talking smack to each other. I dug uncanny xforce then it ended now I like cable xforce and it ends. I hope this one is as good, maybe I'll grow to like marrow.

Not sure, but I really wana know where he's going too. Uncanny seems like a logical choice, but I believe Bendis shot that down

Kinda sucks though. I really like CatXF lineup right now.

I'd really like to see him go to Amazing X-men I feel like that would be really interesting.

I'd be down for that - especially given how well its started.

Does anyone know where Colossus is heading to, He was the only reason I was reading Cable and X-Force, now it would appear he is gone from X-Force. I hope he goes to one of the other X-men books and just doesn't fade into the background.

The art tends to flip between amazing (the panels with Cable) and awkward (the close ups of Marrow). I trust in Spurrier's ability to craft consistently brilliant scripts so I'm all over this. I'm loving the Metal Gear-esque Variant cover.

That is some beautiful art! What does it mean by "The Mutant Nation"? Is it like Utopia or Genosha or is there something else?
